...Bruce S. Lieberman; Elisabeth S. Vrba Abstract Stephen Jay Gould made impressive contributions to macroevolutionary theory; one of the topics in this area that particularly interested him was how to define and recognize species selection. Here we explore how and why Gould's ideas on concepts...

...Stephen P. Hubbell Abstract Neutral theory in ecology is based on the symmetry assumption that ecologically similar species in a community can be treated as demographically equivalent on a per capita basis—equivalent in birth and death rates, in rates of dispersal, and even in the probability...

... of theory. No one—not even Stephen Jay Gould—can look for the unanimous agreement of colleagues, nor on the lasting acceptance of each and every finding and conclusion as the collective research endeavor continues apace. But it must be said that, on this score—the degree of acceptance of data, analysis...

...Elisabeth S. Vrba Abstract The thoughts and writings of Stephen Jay Gould have had an enormous impact on the shaping of macroevolutionary theory. The notion of punctuated equilibria ( Eldredge and Gould 1972 ) remained prominent throughout his work. It also unleashed a storm of debate...

... including disparity, causation, or bookkeeping of genes, adaptation, and exaptation, as well as evolutionary contingency at the genomic level—issues at the heart of some of Stephen Jay Gould's intellectual battlegrounds. Interestingly, where relevant, the genomic perspective is consistent with Gould's...

... of the fourth kind—have been in bad odor in evolutionary studies since the Modern Synthesis. Indeed, one such trend, orthogenesis, is famous for having been discredited. In Stephen Jay Gould's last book, The Structure of Evolutionary Thought, he tried to rehabilitate this category (although not orthogenesis...

...Kevin J. Peterson; Mark A. McPeek; David A. D. Evans Abstract One of the enduring puzzles to Stephen Jay Gould about life on Earth was the cause or causes of the fantastic diversity of animals that exploded in the fossil record starting around 530 Ma—the Cambrian explosion. In this contribution, we...

...Douglas S. Jones; Stephen Jay Gould Abstract We have known since Trueman's classic work of 1922 that the Lower Jurassic Gryphaea of Britain exhibit phyletic size increase and heterochronic change in shape. Since Hallam's revisionary work in the 1960s, we have recognized that pronounced...
